Global Markets Today LIVE: Is the worst over for US stock markets?

US stock futures pointing to a positive start reflect improving near-term sentiment, but it would be premature to conclude that the uptrend is firmly in place.

Markets may have moved past the phase of indiscriminate selling, but a clear, durable bull cycle typically requires stronger visibility on rate cuts and earnings growth. Valuations, especially in segments of the US market, are still not cheap relative to historical averages. Corporate earnings resilience will be the key variable from here.

Global Markets Today LIVE: Delta Predicts $2 Billion Fuel Hit

Delta Air Lines Inc. expects to incur more than $2 billion in higher fuel costs through June because of the Iran war, prompting the carrier to tread carefully and stick to its previous full-year profit forecast.

“We’re not updating it in light of the uncertainty, so I think it’d be imprudent to make any estimate at this point,” Delta Chief Executive Officer Ed Bastian said.

Fuel prices have climbed sharply as the conflict disrupts global energy markets, raising costs for airlines at a time when demand has otherwise held up. The increase is forcing carriers to weigh how much of the higher expense they can pass on through fares without dampening bookings.

Airline shares globally surged Wednesday after US President Donald Trump agreed to a two-week ceasefire in exchange for Tehran reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for exports of oil and other commodities. (Bloomberg)

U.S. gold futures for June delivery gained 3% to $4,824.70.

Among the standout performers, Dubai — one of the key targets during the recent conflict — posted its biggest jump in a decade, while Pakistan’s stock market also ranked among the top gainers, helped by the country’s role as a key mediator in securing the two-week pause in hostilities.

Sensex Today on April 8 LIVE: Near-term outlook positive

The near-term outlook remains positive, supported by stable macros, improving sentiment, and liquidity conditions. However, the sustainability of the rally will depend on progress in geopolitical negotiations, easing of supply disruptions, and normalization of energy shipments. Movements in crude oil prices, the rupee, and FII flows will remain key determinants of near-term market direction, said Ajay Menon, MD & CEO – Wealth Management (retail broking and distribution), Motilal Oswal Financial Services.

Sensex Today on April 8 LIVE: Key Gold levels to watch

Jateen Trivedi, VP Research Analyst - Commodity and Currency, LKP Securities said:

“Gold traded sharply higher with gains of around ₹2900 at ₹153000, tracking strength in COMEX gold near $4800, although rupee appreciation capped further upside in MCX. The rally is largely driven by relief sentiment after the US–Iran ceasefire, which led to a sharp 15% correction in crude prices, supporting broader risk assets.

However, this move is more of a relief rally and short covering, as uncertainty still persists regarding the durability of the ceasefire and reopening of key supply routes.

Technically, resistance is seen near ₹155500, while support is placed around ₹149000. Gold is expected to remain volatile, with direction dependent on further geopolitical clarity and macro cues."

Sensex Today on April 8 LIVE: Gold, Silver prices rallied today

Hareesh V, Head of Commodity Research, Geojit Investments Limited:

"Gold and silver prices rallied sharply today, advancing nearly 3% and 6% respectively, following the ceasefire discussions between the US and Iran.

The easing of geopolitical tensions triggered renewed safe‑haven demand, with investors flocking to bullion as a hedge. Supportive macro factors, including a softer US dollar and the Dollar Index slipping below 99, further boosted momentum. This surge underscores how gold and silver remain resilient assets, with the potential to attract stronger buying interest from investors."

Sensex Today on April 8 LIVE: Rupee closes stronger

The Indian rupee appreciated 0.5% to close at 92.58 against the U.S. dollar on Wednesday, strengthening from its previous close of 93.0075.

Sensex Today on April 8 LIVE: Why Markets rose today?

Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments, said:

"The interim ceasefire is seen as a step toward broader regional stability. India benefits immediately from the reopening of the Hormuz Strait, which has pushed oil prices below $100 and reduced downside risks to FY27 EPS growth.

The sharp improvement in sentiment has driven a notable decline in the 10‑year bond yield and strengthened the rupee, while the RBI’s status quo stance has further supported financials. Although the Q4 results outlook remains muted, investors are focusing on reasonable valuations and a stable medium‑term earnings trajectory, suggesting that the rally still has room to continue in the near term."

The rally came after the United States and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire, triggering a broad rebound across global markets.

Shares of Tata Motors (Commercial Vehicles) and Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles (TMPV) jumped up to 11% on Wednesday after U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran, subject to the immediate and safe reopening of the Strait of Hormuz — a key global shipping route that carries nearly 20% of the world’s oil flows.

Sensex Today on April 8 LIVE: Dollar slides to 4-week low

The dollar fell against all its major peers after the US and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire, sapping demand for the currency as a haven.

Bloomberg’s gauge of the greenback slid as much as 0.9% to a four-week low as the agreement drove down Treasury yields, further trimming demand for the currency. The dollar weakened the most against its risk-sensitive counterparts such as the South African rand and South Korean won.

Iran said the ceasefire agreement meant it would guarantee safe passage for vessels through the Strait of Hormuz for two weeks, helping ensure a greater supply of oil to global markets. (Bloomberg)

Vedanta shares gained as much as 3.99% to ₹735 apiece on the BSE.

The Delhi bench of the NCLAT will hear Vedanta’s appeal challenging the approval of the resolution plan for JAL on April 10.

The Supreme Court on Monday had declined to stay the implementation of the Adani group’s ₹14,535-crore bid to acquire the debt-ridden JAL, but provided a safeguard by restraining the firm’s monitoring committee from taking any “major policy decisions” without prior nod of the NCLAT.

Sensex Today on April 8 LIVE: Global stocks update

Oil prices plunged sharply while global equities rallied after the United States and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire, offering markets a breather from the volatility triggered by the Middle East conflict.

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude tumbled as much as 19%, marking its steepest fall in nearly six years, after U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to pause bombing of Iran. The move is expected to help restore oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran saying that safe passage through the key waterway would be possible during the ceasefire period. Meanwhile, global benchmark Brent crude fell 14% to $93.90 per barrel.

The easing in geopolitical tensions triggered a broad-based rally in equities. MSCI’s Asia Pacific equity index jumped 5.1% to its highest level in five weeks, as investors bet that lower crude prices could help cool inflation and support global growth.

Markets across regions joined the rebound. S&P 500 futures rose 2.7% as of 6:52 a.m. London time, while Nasdaq 100 futures gained 3.3%. In Asia, Japan’s Topix advanced 3.4%, Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 climbed 2.6%, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng rose 3.1%, and China’s Shanghai Composite added 2.5%. In Europe, Euro Stoxx 50 futures surged 5.4%, reflecting a strong global risk-on mood.

Bond markets also reacted positively. U.S. Treasuries rallied as softer oil prices revived hopes that easing inflation pressures could give the Federal Reserve room to cut interest rates. The U.S. dollar index fell 1%, reversing some of its safe-haven gains made during the conflict.

Precious metals also moved higher. Gold climbed 2.7% to around $4,835 per ounce, supported by expectations of a lower interest-rate environment, which tends to favour non-yielding assets. Silver outperformed, surging 5.9% to above $77 per ounce.

Sensex Today on April 8 LIVE: Adani group stocks surge up to 13%

Adani group stocks witnessed a sharp rally of up to 13% in Wednesday's trading session after a US court accepted the plea filed by the counsels of Guatam and Sagar Adani for a pre-motion conference to dismiss a securities fraud case brought against them over 15 months ago by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

All Adani group stocks traded higher following this development and amid a sharp rebound in the Indian stock market on the US-Iran ceasefire news.

Adani Green and Adani Total Gas led, with a 13% rise each. Meanwhile, the flagship Adani Enterprises shares gained 11%. Both Ambuja Cement and Adani Energy hit the 10% upper circuits, while Adani Ports, Adani Power, and ACC gained between 6-8%. Media stock NDTV gained 12% today.

Sensex Today on April 8 LIVE: Market rally more structural than fundamental

Viram Shah, Co-Founder and CEO, Vested Finance noted that for investors, today's market rally reinforces how quickly geopolitics can override fundamentals, with oil moving from sub $80 levels to well above $120 and then correcting sharply within weeks as the Strait of Hormuz disruption unfolded and partially reversed.

“The current market move is less about a structural improvement and more about unwinding extreme risk positioning, and the key from here will be whether the ceasefire evolves into a more durable agreement. Until then, markets are likely to remain event-driven, with the potential for equally sharp repricing across oil, inflation expectations, and risk assets if tensions escalate again,” he added.

Sensex Today on April 8 LIVE: More rate hikes ahead?

Garima Kapoor Deputy Head of Research and Economist at Elara Capital said, “Acknowledging the risks to growth and inflation owing to disruption in energy and other supply chains, MPC decided to hold policy rates while awaiting further clarity on the impact of West Asian crisis. We do not see MPC hiking policy rates until CPI inflation durably surpasses 6% and inflation expectations get unhinged. We believe the 6.9% growth estimate put out by RBI for FY27 may need a reassessment as full pre-war energy export volumes might take 3–6 months due to backlog, diverted tankers, and partial infrastructure damage.”

Sensex Today on April 8 LIVE: Nifty Realty also adds 7%

In the realty sector, Aditya Birla Realty surged 9% while Lodha jumped 8%. Prestige, Phoenix, Sobha, Godrej Properties, DLF, Oberoi Realty, Anant Raj and Brigade Enterprises also added 5-8% today.

"For the real estate sector, this continuity in interest rates plays a crucial role in sustaining momentum. Stable borrowing costs help preserve affordability for homebuyers while also enabling developers to plan with greater confidence. In an environment where sentiment can be easily influenced by macroeconomic signals, the absence of rate volatility acts as a reassuring factor for the market. With financing costs remaining steady, prospective buyers are better positioned to evaluate and commit to long-term investments such as homeownership.

Overall, the RBI’s decision supports a balanced environment for the real estate sector, helping maintain demand traction and providing the confidence needed for continued market activity in the near term," said Shishir Baijal, International Partner, Chairman & Managing Director, Knight Frank India.

Sensex Today on April 8 LIVE: Nifty Auto jumps 7%

While the auto sector rose 7%, its constituents also rallied. Ashok Leyland soared almost 13%, followed by Motherson Sumi and Tata Motors PV, up 9% each.

Sensex Today on April 8 LIVE: Nifty breaches 24,000

VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments said: "Nifty will cruise towards 24000 and further movements will depend on the evolving outlook. In brief, it is risk on again.

Beaten down financials have the potential to stage a dramatic recovery. Crude-related stocks like refineries, aviation, capital goods companies with exposure to the Gulf region, paints and adhesives will be on strong wicket."

Sensex Today on April 8 LIVE: Nifty Financial Services index up 5.6%

Nifty Financial Services index added 5.6% today. Shriram Finance was the top gainer in the index, up 11% followed by Chola Finance, rising 9%.

Sensex Today on April 8 LIVE: Larsen & Toubro shares jump 8%

Shares of Larsen and Toubro (L&T) advanced over 8% on BSE to ₹4,024.9 per share following the positive developments around the Middle East war. US President Donald Trump has said he has suspended Iran attacks for two weeks, pausing a five-week conflict that closed a crucial waterway for global energy supply and sent equity prices reeling.

Last month, L&T had said that it derives more than 35% of its revenue from the Middle East region. Following the US and Israel’s strikes on Iran and subsequent retaliatory actions, it had flagged logistics and supply chain disruptions as key challenges, warning of potential revenue risks if the situation persists.

Sensex Today on April 8 LIVE: RBI flags inflation risks

The rally comes after Brent crude prices plunged over 13% following reports of a two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran.
